Vinefell
To call Vinefell a town would be quite the exaggeration. The collections of vines and logs barely qualify as shelter much less homes, and yet, the lizardfolk who worship Felmarunur call it as such. Time and time again the ramshackle structures are destroyed yet time and time again they are rebuilt. The shaman who rules them promises time and time again that next time their homes will not be destroyed, they need only appease their green-scaled goddess better. Felmarunur is inclined to disagree, she wishes only to be left alone in her grief. Though at times the funny little lizards who worship her serve to bring some joy to an otherwise pointless existence.
Government
The lizardfolk of Vinefell are largely governed by two people, the current shaman, and the forest greatwyrm Felmarunur. While the Lady of the Twisting Vines largely ignores her worshippers beyond accepting their daily offerings, the shaman works hard to interpret any and all signs from her to dictate that manner in which they are governed. Every morning at dawn offerings are brought to the opening of the roots of the Great Tree. If they are acceptable a massive claw will come up to gather them within, if they are not, Felmarunur's wrath will become known as their settlement is destroyed once again. Much of the lizardfolk of Vinefell's time is spent repairing their homes and preparing offerings for the Drake of the Forest. They find great satisfaction in their work though and are consistently happy to worship their cold deity.
Assets
The only structure that doesn't collapse on a regular basis is a small stone hut they made to house food and offerings to the Lady of Twisting Vines. They consider that the structure for housing food and offerings never collapsing is a miracle granted to them by their greatwyrm deity. While some have posited that perhaps it being built of stone has something to do with it, the fanatic worshippers insist it is out of the grace and generosity of Felmarunur.

This was great and kind of funny! I'd love to know what is the reason behinf Felmarunur's grief, that made her see everything as pointless. Very enjoyable idea!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! While I haven't gone too in-depth in a dedicated article, another Summer Camp submission has a bit more detail on Felmarunur's grief Scoric Viper Meat
